Identifying Number: 2024-001 Finding: Current management noted that the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, were materially misstated for certain contribution transactions recorded in error in the amount of $7,997,654. Those errors were corrected and recorded in fiscal year 2024, which is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The entire finance team was new in FY24. During an internal review, management identified that certain revenue transactions had been recorded incorrectly in the prior fiscal year (FY23), resulting in a materially misstated ending balance for FY23 and, consequently, an inaccurate beginning balance for FY24. Because FY23 had already been closed and audited, the necessary corrections were recorded in FY24. Management proactively informed the new auditors of these adjustments. Due to the materiality of the correction, the auditors determined that the FY23 ending balance needed to be reinstated. As a result, they expanded their scope to include a re-audit of FY23 to ensure the accuracy of the reinstated balances, which extended the overall audit timeline. It’s important to emphasize that this finding was self-identified and communicated by management, and the correction was properly recorded in FY24. No further corrective action is required for FY25. Throughout FY24, the finance team has worked diligently to strengthen internal policies, processes, controls, and systems, which contributed to a clean audit result for FY24. This finding relates solely to FY23 and does not reflect the current state of financial management. Name of Responsible Person: Manizha Nabieva, CFO Projected Date of Completion: 05/28/2025 Identifying Number: 2024-002 Finding: Federation of American Scientists’ fiscal year 2024 data collection form was not submitted within nine months after the end of the audit period. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The delay in filing the data collection form was directly related to the delay in finalizing the audit, as noted in the first finding above. Since this was our first year working with RSM, the audit scope expanded significantly due to the reinstatement of beginning balances. The auditors required additional time to ensure the accuracy of the financial statements before issuing their final report. We will finalize and submit the data collection form as soon as the audit is complete, but no later than May 28, 2025. To prevent similar delays in the future, we have already initiated discussions with our auditors regarding the FY25 audit and plan to begin the audit process in October 2025.

Finding 2024-002: Internal Control Over Financial Reporting– Significant Deficiency Audit Finding: Management is responsible for the design and implementation of internal controls over year-end financial reporting, including controls over procedures used to enter transaction in the general ledger and record recurring and nonrecurring adjustments to the financial statements on an accrual basis. During the course of the audit, journal entries were required to reconcile accounts receivable, accrued expenses, and accrued PTO from a cash basis to an accrual basis, which indicate a lack of operating effectiveness of internal controls over the financial reporting process. Audit Recommendation: We recommend School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) review policies and procedures related to the year-end financial reporting process and controls should be implemented to ensure accrual basis financial reporting can be achieved. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) agrees with the finding and recommendation. These transactions were proactively shared with the auditor at the commencement of the audit and discussed. Actions were already taken to fix these processes. In 2023 an outside professional was hired to mitigate these circumstances and ensure adherence to GAAP accounting. Management is hiring new accountants to alleviate future issues in this space. Management is in the process of implementing enhanced processes and procedures to achieve the proper recording of transactions on an accrual basis. A year-end checklist will be used to ensure that all accruals are booked in accounts receivable and payables. Contact and Completion Date: Shannon Hancock, 720-972-4342, shannon.hancock@5starfoundation.org, is the primary contact, and the Executive Director at School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation). The corrective action is expected to be resolved before the end of the next fiscal year-end of December 31, 2025.

Finding 2024-001: Late Submission of Reports Audit Finding: School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) is required to submit Monthly Financial Reports by the 10th of each month for the periods January through February and by the 15th of each month for the remaining months through December. In addition, School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) is required to submit Quarterly Reports by the 15th of each month. In our audit, we found that 2 out of 8 Reports tested were submitted after the 15th of the following month. After reviewing all the reports with School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation), we noted 3 monthly reports, out of a total of 50 required reports, and 7 quarterly reports, out of a total of 25 required reports, were submitted untimely Audit Recommendation: We recommend School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) review and follow policies and procedures to ensure timely submission of reports. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) agrees with the finding and recommendation. Late submissions occurred due to delays in responses from the grantor and verbal approval of changes in due dates from the grantor. Management will be more proactive in documenting communication regarding reports to ensure that, if they are submitted late, there is clear evidence of approved date modifications, why and what date they were initially submitted. Management is now aware that the grantor’s system only reflects the final submission date once approved, not the initial submission date for reports that required modification at the request of the grantor. To address this, School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) will implement a process to document the initial submission date along with any backup documentation of delays, including communications with Adams County or other relevant parties. Additionally, Adams County has a clear policy that while timely submission of reports is required by the original grant agreement, grantees who communicate a need for additional time by the 15th of the month are considered compliant. Adams County also noted that, based on School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation’s) history and previous communications, they would not consider this a finding or an indicator of poor performance. Moving forward, School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation) will ensure that any anticipated delays are formally communicated to Adams County in writing (not verbally) before the due date and that records of these communications are retained for audit purposes. Contact and Completion Date: Shannon Hancock, 720-972-4342, shannon.hancock@5starfoundation.org, is the primary contact, and the Executive Director at School District 12 Education Foundation (dba Five Star Education Foundation). The corrective action is already in place and active as of this audit.

Procurement Cluster: Research and Development (R&D) Federal Agency: Various Assistance Listing Title and Number: Various Award Name: Various Award Identifying Number: Various Award Year: Fiscal year 2024 Pass-Through Entity: VariousThe University concurs with the auditors' finding. The University did not communicate the change in auditee status and the resulting impact on the micro-purchase threshold to Procurement Services in a timely manner. This oversight led to continued application of the higher $75,000 threshold after the University no longer qualified under 2 CFR 200.320(a)(1)(iv). To address this issue, management is implementing the following corrective actions: 1. Cross-Functional Communication Protocol – A formal communication protocol will be established between Accounting and Financial Reporting and key compliance stakeholders to ensure timely notification of changes in auditee status or other compliance-related designations following the completion of the annual financial statement audit. 2. Policy Update and Staff Training – Procurement policies and procedures will be updated to reflect the requirement that UAH is subject to the lower micro-purchase threshold. Staff will be trained to take appropriate action when the University either qualifies for or no longer meets the criteria for a higher micro-purchase threshold, including timely adjustments to procurement policies and procedures. 3. Monitoring and Review – The Controller’s Office will conduct an annual review of auditee status immediately upon issuance of the audited financial statements, with documented confirmation sent to key compliance stakeholders. The University expects to complete this corrective action plan by September 30, 2025. For follow-up questions or if you need any additional information, please feel free to contact Brad Cooper, Interim Chief Financial Officer, at jbc0038@uah.edu who is responsible for this corrective action.

For one out of 40 students tested for eligibility, we noted 1 student (2.5%) who was eligible to receive Pell funding but did not receive Pell funds due to an employee error. Action Taken: The identified student withdrew from the University on May 8, 2023. The student’s 2023-24 Pell award was cancelled during the required R2T4 process that was completed on May 23, 2023. The 2023-24 Pell award for the Spring 2024 semester was not manually reinstated upon the student’s return to an Active status on June 28, 2023. The employee who was responsible for updating the student’s financial aid package upon the student’s return to an Active status erroneously neglected to reinstate the 2023-24 Pell award for the Spring 2024 semester. This finding is attributed to human error. In April 2025, Herzing University created an internal compliance checkpoint for Pell awarding. This checkpoint will identify any students with a Pell eligible SAI for the Federal Award year that do not have Pell packaged for the semester. This checkpoint was completed for the Spring 2025 semester on April 7, 2025, and will be completed each semester going forward. Any affected students identified during the completion of this semester-based checkpoint will have their financial aid package revised to include Pell funding for the applicable semester, prior to the end of the semester. Herzing University’s Policy Manual was updated in April 2025 to reflect the addition of the Pell Awarding compliance checkpoint. For the identified student, Herzing University has provided a tuition waiver for the amount of the Pell funds that the student was eligible for and should have received for the Spring 2024 semester. The required corrective action for Finding 2024-002 listed in the SFA audit for the period 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 was completed on 5/7/2025. The person responsible for completion of the corrective action was Kevin McShane, Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance. ____________________________________ _______________________ Kevin McShane Date Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance Herzing University 275 W.

Audit Firm: RSM US LLP 30 S Wacker Drive, Suite 3300 Chicago, IL 60606 Audit Period: 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 Comments on Findings and Recommendations: Finding 2024-001 – Eligibility - SEOG Finding: Herzing University did not properly award SEOG funding to an eligible student in the Fall 2024 semester. Condition: A student was eligible to receive SEOG funding but did not receive SEOG funds due to an employee error. For one out of 40 students tested for eligibility, we noted 1 student (2.5%) who was eligible to receive SEOG funding but did not receive SEOG funds due to an employee error. Action Taken: On May 1, 2024, a Financial Aid Advisor manually cancelled the identified student’s 2024-25 SEOG award in Regent (Herzing University’s Financial Aid Management Software), with a notation that the student had an ineligible Student Aid Index (SAI). The student had an SAI of -117 on their 2024-25 ISIR, and in accordance with Herzing University’s FSEOG policy were eligible for 2024-25 SEOG in the Fall 2024 semester. The award was incorrectly manually canceled by the advisor because of human error. In April 2025, Herzing University created an internal compliance checkpoint for FSEOG awarding. This checkpoint will serve as a safety net to identify any students who have a Pell award for the Federal Award year, have an SAI that is FSEOG eligible according to Herzing University’s FSEOG policy, and do not correctly have FSEOG packaged for the semester. Any affected students identified during the completion of this semester-based checkpoint will have their financial aid package reviewed and if necessary revised to include FSEOG funding for the applicable semester, prior to the end of the semester. This checkpoint was completed for the Spring 2025 semester on April 4, 2025, and will be completed each semester going forward. Herzing University’s Policy Manual was updated in April 2025 to reflect the addition of the FSEOG Awarding compliance checkpoint. For the identified student, Herzing University has provided a tuition waiver for the amount of the FSEOG funds that the student was eligible for and should have received for the Fall 2024 semester. The required corrective action for Finding 2024-001 listed in the SFA audit for the period 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 was completed on 5/7/2025. The person responsible for completion of the corrective action was Kevin McShane, Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance. ____________________________________ _______________________ Kevin McShane Date Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance Herzing University 275 W.
